Headlining - home made option?!!

I've got an old 1985 pick-up 90, love it to bits, lots of character, I mainly use it just for fishing trips etc, its not the tidiest vehicle in the world but its fun.

Question is... The cab headlining is a bit shabby and dirty, I know it would be expensive to replace with a new one, has anybody used a kit or material for a headlining? I've seen a few kits with glue etc on Ebay, anyone got any suggestions or had good results?

could always reuse the original material if its good enough that is, if its dirty just clean it. Remove the staples and then remove the trim and re stretch it over and re staple. Use automotive spray glue to help it stay up there

Thanks Killer, will the material come away from the board part? I've not taken it out yet to have a good look to be honest

no probs, couldnt find photo of my old 90 which i done the same to

But yer basically it will just peel away, once the headlining is dropped you will see the staples on the back holding the trim on remove these and its very easy from then in

Hi

When the roof lining of my 90 started to come away I used this stuff:

Really easy to use, 6 sq Mtrs for the whole roof of a 90, so as yours is a truck cab half that. I do recommend on using the glue they sell as well

Thanks for the replies, I think recovering the original might be the better option, the 28 years of grime looks well ingrained!!
The van guard looks to fit the bill. Thanks again
